How to tell if 3rd party instruments are Intel or Apple Silicon?

Jar-El · 2025-04-26T05:33:11+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is there a way, either in Kontakt Player or Native Access, to see if my already installed 3rd party instruments are Intel or Apple Silicon? I just upgraded from an Intel Mac Mini to an M4 Pro Mini, and upgraded from Kontakt Player 6 to 8, plus also the newest Native Access, so those are now AS. Is there a way to to see my 3rd party instruments architecture? TIA :-)

Maybe this will be of help ? : How Can I Tell if a Plugin is Apple Silicon Native?

By third party instruments do you mean the actual players like Kontakt/Reaktor or the Kontakt/Maschine instrument libraries like pianos, strings and other expansions? On the whole the expansions are independent of the plugins that run them so will work on both Intel and Silicon based Macs.
